Phil Steele's College Football Preview has named Stony Brook senior Miguel Maysonet to its preseason All-America Team.

Maysonet, a running back, garnered fourth-team honors.

Maysonet rushed for 1,633 yards, a Stony Brook and Big South record, and 15 touchdowns in 2011. He scored four touchdowns against Lafayette and Charleston Southern, becoming the school's all-time leader in rushing TDs (27).

He sits in fifth place in conference history with 2,761 yards and is 873 yards shy of breaking the all-time mark set by former Liberty and Jacksonville Jaguar running back Rashad Jennings. Maysonet is 847 yards shy of breaking Conte Cuttino's school-rushing mark of 3,607.

Entering 2012, Maysonet is tops in the nation among all active players in yards per game (115.0) and second in yards per carry (6.45).

Maysonet will test the Syracuse University defense when the Seawolves visit Syracuse University on Sept. 15.
